Long before the raw power of punk icon Iggy Pop became legend, his first incarnation as Iggy Stooge of proto-punk trailblazers The Stooges roared into being. The essence of punk years before the genre existed, The Stooges' furious music was a howling, visceral, fuzztone-drenched, and unprecedented vortex of sound, as evidenced on their revolutionary self-titled, John Cale-produced 1969 debut album. Their bracing follow-up, the 1970 Fun House, portrayed their evolution into a fiercer, stronger band with Iggy's primal vocals and mad brilliance more potent than ever and is considered a cult classic.

Fun House Alternate Version gives an unfiltered look at the Stooges' creative process. Side One features "Down on the Street" (Take 1), "Loose" (Take 2), "T.V. Eye" (Takes 7 & 8), and "Dirt" (Take 10). Side Two includes "1970" (Take 3), "Fun House" (Take 3), and "Freak (L.A. Blues)" (Take 1). These raw, unreleased takes highlight the band's raw energy and proto-punk sound, offering insight into a record that would go on to shape punk, noise rock, and underground music for decade.
